Chapter 53 Chapter 53
◎Finally out◎
Muan Jiaxi, Amuro Toru and the others were slowly groping along the wall. The others saw their actions and didn't believe that they didn't go up to help, so they discussed it among themselves.
Kogoro Mori, Ginzo Nakamori and Jirokichi Suzuki got together, and without Toru Amuro and others to act as peacemakers, they almost got into a fight.
Everyone had their own opinion, and no one was convinced by the other. Their faces turned red and the argument became heated.
"I said this way."
"I said go this way, I'm a police officer, listen to me."
"We went over there last time, let's go this way this time."
"I'm a detective, listen to me. My deduction is correct."
"I'm a police officer, listen to me."
"I bought this place. Follow my lead and go this way!"
This sentence seemed to have lit a switch. The next second, the other two said in unison, "Shut up! If it weren't for you, we wouldn't be stuck here!"
Mu'an Jiaxi heard the commotion behind him, turned around as if to watch the fun, and teased, "Three funny guys."
She ignored them and continued to explore. After a long time, there was no movement. Each stone wouldn't go in, and it didn't seem like there was a mechanism. She looked at Amuro Toru and asked, "Have you found anything?"
Toru Amuro shook his head and said, "No." The two looked at Conan, and Conan also shook his head.
Mu'an Jiaxi scratched his head in confusion, thinking to himself, "Could I have guessed wrong? That's how it's played out in TV dramas. If there are any traps, wouldn't they be in these places?"
Toru Amuro looked up, thinking about something.
Mu'an Jiaxi saw his movements and curiously looked in the direction he was looking. He looked up, but there was nothing there, only weeds covering the wall.
Then, as she watched, she saw Amuro Toru reach out to the pile of weeds, pick up one of them and pull it down hard.
"Squeak!" Suddenly, a sound of a mechanism opening could be heard in the passage. Mu Anjiaxi saw with her own eyes that cracks were slowly appearing in the wall before her. As the cracks grew larger, a passage appeared. She exclaimed in delight, "There's a way out."
Everyone had just heard the noise and looked over, their faces filled with excitement. Yuanzi said, "Finally, there's a way."
Sera Masumi also came over excitedly, his expression filled with joy, and exclaimed, "Finally we found the way. What kind of a place was this old man looking for? Now he's trapped here too."
Mu'an Jiaxi heard his words and agreed very much: "Yes, but it's rare that I trapped you."
Kidd snorted disdainfully and walked away.
Judging from his expression, he was dissatisfied. Mu Anjiaxi couldn't understand what he was dissatisfied with. Was he dissatisfied that he couldn't get out or something else?
The three detective police old men who were arguing fiercely over there also stopped their verbal battle and came over at some point.
Kogoro Maori said in disbelief, "There really is a mechanism!" He looked around the passage, his eyes wide open, but still didn't believe it.
Suzuki Jirokichi patted Amuro Toru, his eyes shining, as if he was looking at a treasure. He touched Amuro Toru's shoulder and said, "Good boy, you are a talent."
Nakamori Ginzo said, "You're a talented person. How did you find the mechanism?"
Amuro Toru looked back and said, "At first I also thought the mechanism was inside the stone, but then I couldn't find it. I found weeds all over the wall and wondered if it was inside the weeds. Then I looked carefully and found one weed that was particularly different. It was a little thinner and longer than the others, but if you really want to call it a weed, it looked more like a vine, and its color was different from the other grasses. That's why I concluded that this weed was fake."
Nakamori Ginzo understood and said, "I see."
Looking at the passage, Mu'an Jiaxi recalled the maze map just now. There was a passage starting from the middle, and then turned into the passage, so this was right.
She guessed that the police must have gone to chase Kidd and the passage closed by itself. When he came back, the passages all looked the same and she couldn't tell them apart.
Afterwards, everyone walked forward along the passage. Since the map matched, they walked along the map for most of the way, and the road was blocked again. This time everyone had experience and helped to find the mechanism.
Muan Jiaxi picked up her phone and checked the time. It was already 12 a.m. No wonder she felt sleepy. She yawned, tears almost coming out. She wiped her eyes, yawned again, and continued searching.
Yuanzi didn't know if she was infected by her, but she also yawned and said incoherently: "Ah... I'm so sleepy."
As if she was really infected, Xiaolan also yawned and said, "I'm sleepy too."
Mu'an Jiaxi heard the continuous yawning and found it amusing. He jokingly said, "Is this yawning contagious?"
Sera Masumi also came over yawning, tears in her eyes, and said, "Ah...it must be contagious, ah...I'm so sleepy."
Mu'an Jiaxi looked at him and said, "Kid has also wilted."
Kidd said, "It wilted a long time ago."
I thought to myself: I have classes tomorrow. If I stay up late today, I don’t know if I can catch up tomorrow. I must not be late.
Mu'an Jiaxi shook his head and said, "I'm almost dying too. My eyes are so sleepy that I'm seeing stars."
Afterwards, I stopped chatting with him and hurried to find the mechanism and get out early. I couldn't help but regret in my heart: Why did I have to come here and join in the fun?
His hands kept moving as he continued to grope on the wall, sometimes pulling at the grass, sometimes pressing on the stones, and sometimes stepping on the corners.
Finally, completely drained of energy and utterly sleepy, Mu'an Jiaxi took a break from her busy schedule and leaned against the wall for a moment. Suddenly, the wall gave way. Her body fell uncontrollably backward, her arms flailing in the air, trying to grab onto something for support, but to no avail.
She fell to the ground with an alarming "bang" and cried out in pain, "Ouch!"
When everyone heard the sound, they quickly gathered around and hurriedly helped her up. Xiaolan brushed the dust off her body and asked, "Did you fall anywhere? Is your injured arm hurt?"
Amuro Toru was also beside her, holding her other arm and asking with concern, "Are you okay?"
Mu'an Jiaxi smiled and waved his hands, saying, "It's okay, I didn't fall."
Looking back at the passage that had suddenly appeared, he muttered quietly, "This guy is so unlucky that even a glass of cold tea will get stuck in his teeth!"
Seeing that she was fine, everyone didn't delay any longer and continued to move forward.
Before dawn, they finally made it out of the maze. Muan Jiaxi was exhausted as a dog, barely managing to crawl out. If Amuro Toru hadn't been holding her back, she would have simply thrown herself to the ground and gotten a good night's sleep.
Looking at the reporters and fans outside the door who had not left yet, Mu'an Jiaxi yawned again and tears came down.
After separating from them, Mu'an Jiaxi and Amuro Toru also returned home. Amuro Toru did not sleep last night and was not in a good mood. He wanted to take a day off to rest and recuperate, so he called Xiaozi and asked her to help him ask for leave.
Mu'an Jiaxi also felt that he should have a good rest. After all, he had worked hard and used his brain last night and had not slept the whole night.
After returning home, she walked directly to the bedroom. Just when she was about to have some intimate contact with her bed, a hand reached out to block her way. A deep voice came from behind her, "The text message you received last night, was it sent to you by Gin?"
Mu'an Jiaxi turned and looked up at him. After a long silence, she said, "I did receive one." Then her serious face suddenly brightened and she smiled, "Relax, it's nothing. They just wanted to say hello and remind me that I can go help them with their work."
Amuro Toru's expression was not as relaxed as hers. Instead, it became more and more serious as she spoke. He pressed on, "What kind of work do they want you to do?"
Just a greeting, Amuro Toru understood the meaning behind her words. It was a warning, right? As for what the warning was about, he knew it without having to guess.
Mu'an Jiaxi said, "Gin didn't say anything, he just said he would tell me when we meet tomorrow." Looking at him, he took a step forward and said with a firm look in his eyes, "This is their first test. I have to go. Believe me."
Seeing her insistence, Amuro Toru said nothing more, but instead instructed: "Be careful, I'll wait for you to come back."
Mu'an Jiaxi immediately put on a bright smile and said, "Don't worry."
Toru Amuro glanced at her, turned and went into his bedroom. It would be a lie to say that he wasn't worried, but what could he do even if he was worried? Everything depended on her and she had to deal with it on her own.
Mu'an Jiaxi stood at the door and watched him return to his room. A bright smile was on his face, but it disappeared instantly as the door closed. He turned with a sullen face and went into his room.
next day
Mu'an Jiaxi was having lunch outside when her cell phone rang. She picked it up without even looking at it and put it to her ear. Because she was still chewing food, she said with a slurred voice, "Hello."
The next second, a voice came from the other side, saying coldly: "Come out."
Mu'an Jiaxi paused with his chopsticks, put down his phone and glanced at the screen, then put it back to his ear and quickly replied, "Okay, okay, I'm having lunch outside now, wait for me."
"You have ten minutes to come back."
Mu'an Jiaxi put down his chopsticks, took out a tissue and wiped his mouth casually, then ran to the front desk to pay the bill while saying, "Okay, okay."
The only response she got was the sound of the phone being hung up. Mu'an Jiaxi glanced at the hung-up call, curled her lips, put the phone back in her pocket, took the change, and walked out quickly.
As he walked, he complained in his heart: It's so inhumane, rushing me, rushing me, rushing me for what? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?
She only dared to say these words in private, not in front of Gin, otherwise, she would be shot and killed in the next second.
Mu An Jiaxi hurried and finally arrived at the gate of his community on time. As soon as he arrived at the gate, he saw a black Porsche parked on the roadside next to his community.
She walked over, looked at the closed car window, and raised her hand to knock.
The car window slowly lowered, revealing a silver-haired man in a black hat in the back seat. He held his phone, the screen lit, but he didn't unlock it, just staring at it. As if noticing her, he shifted his gaze from the phone to her, saying, without anger or joy, "Exactly ten minutes."
His tone was calm, and he couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry, but the words he said made people feel inexplicably chilled.
